    hey all i know this has been brought up before, but i am really baffled!
    i am trying to slide my axles out to chuck in my new locker right, i got the l/h side alxe with the force of my pinky finger.
    the right hand side is a different story.
    i have tried:
    Inverted hub
    Wheel bolted on
    a heavy duty slide hammer
    knocking the inverted hub with a hammer
    pulling as hard as possible
    AND EVEN
    tying a rope to the axle then trying to tow it out with another car!!!!
    The farking thing wont budge
    can somebody please direct me into a possible solution (besides buying a whole new diff <_< )
    would unbolting the diff center and trying to wobble it around and loosen it off help?
    could the splines be twisted, therefore not budging?

    The car is a ke70. So its a borgwarner, if that helps?

    THANKS

    If it's a borgwarner, then leave the axles in, open up the inspection plate on the back and sink a few rods in.

    What were you going to do? Remove the axles, pull the center out and then weld it?

    You'd have to have all the crownwheel / pinion lash settings re-done = 2/3 the cost of a wrecker special diff.

    If you break an axle then you buy a new diff, win.
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (KE86_man @ Nov 4 2007, 11:16 PM) </div>you COULD do it like that i suppose,

    however it is extra effort

    and the risk of welding over where the axles go in (mate of mine did it the day before drift practice, that was a fun day)

    Either or, your options are there for you.
